Pilonidal Sinus Treatment In Mumbai

Understanding Pilonidal Sinus Treatment

A pilonidal sinus is a small tunnel or cavity in the skin, usually located in the cleft at the top of the buttocks near the tailbone. It often contains hair and debris and can become repeatedly infected, causing pain, swelling and discharge. It is most common in young adults and in those with thick body hair or a sedentary lifestyle.

 

Traditional surgery for pilonidal sinus could mean large wounds and long healing times. At Megha Surgical Hospital we offer modern laser and minimally invasive techniques that remove the sinus through small openings, greatly reducing pain and downtime.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does a pilonidal sinus keep coming back?
Recurrence is often due to incomplete treatment or ongoing hair entry. Laser treatment plus good hygiene and hair control reduces this risk.
 
Laser treatment is minimally invasive with small wounds, so post-operative pain is much less than with traditional open surgery.
 
Keeping the area clean, dry and free of hair, and avoiding prolonged sitting, all help prevent the sinus returning.
 
In many cases laser treatment can be done as day-care, allowing same-day discharge.
 
Healing is generally quicker than with open surgery, typically over a couple of weeks with proper care.
